The larger the code base gets, the less you can rely on loners to solve issues. It's why there is a mountain range of stagnating open source projects. It's all mostly from communication breakdown/lack of social skills. Not coding chops. Beyond a point, most issues will require multiple people to work together and loners get more and more ineffective over time as their social skills degrade from lack of practice. Software is getting more and more complex not less. Collaboration and communication will be prioritized, and things that interfere with it depriortized, by the ever optimizing corporate robot.
